calculate pressure in each foot?elephant 3200kg covers in each its feet an area equal 0.08(ms)

6 answers

m g = (3200/4)9.81 Newtons
p = mg/A = (800 * 9.81) / 0.08 Newtons/meter^2 or Pascals
= 98,100 Pascals

one atmosphere is about 100,000 Pascals so the elephant weight just about doubles the total pressure on the bottom of a foot.
98000 N/meter^2
98100 N/meter^2
100000 N/meter^2
